Ebenezer Dowuona - College Basketball News & Rumors

Out a few weeks Dowuona (foot) will be out for a few weeks, according to Kelly Quinlan of Rivals.com.

Impact Dowuona being out for a few weeks will render him unavailable for at least four games and the remainder of Georgia Tech's February 2024 schedule. Currently, the earliest he can play is on March 2 against Florida State. Without him available, there is a bigger likelihood that Tafara Gapare will be part of Georgia Tech's starting lineup moving forward, as he was during Dowuona's previous absence and is again Wednesday at Notre Dame.

Not playing Saturday Dowuona won't play against Louisville on Saturday due to a left foot/ankle injury, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Dowuona has been a regular starter for the Yellow Jackets this season, featuring in the first unit in 13 of his 18 appearances. His absence won't be much of a blow in terms of fantasy appeal, however, as he's only averaging 1.0 points and 1.4 rebounds per contest in his senior year.

In starting five Tuesday Dowuona (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against North Carolina.

Impact Dowuona did not play in the last two games for undisclosed reasons. Georgia Tech will slide Baye Ndongo over to power forward and Ibrahima Sacko to the bench for this game. Dowuona has started 10 of the 15 games he's played in this season but is only averaging 1.2 points and 1.4 rebounds in 9.5 minutes per contest.

No action Tuesday Dowuona (undisclosed) did not take the court in Tuesday's 72-64 loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact No reason was provided for the senior center's absence, though it was a bit unexpected considering he started four of the team's previous five contests. However, he was limited to seven minutes or less in each of those outings and held scoreless in three straight, so it's not like he's had ideal usage from a fantasy perspective. In his stead, a smaller lineup was used, featuring Baye Ndongo and Tyzhaun Claude at center. Dowuona's next chance to take the court will be Saturday at Virginia Tech.

Moves to bench Friday Dowouna is not starting Friday against Hawaii.

Impact Dowuona had been in the starting lineup in each of his previous six games, but he heads back to the bench here in favor of Tafara Gapare. Dowuona is averaging 1.5 points and 1.5 rebounds per game when deployed off the bench this season.

Added to transfer portal Dowuona was added to the NCAA's transfer portal Thursday, VerbalCommits.com reports.

Impact After sitting out a matchup North Carolina State played on Jan. 17, Dowuona logged fewer than 20 minutes all but once across his last 15 games as part of the team. The limited action indicates why he wants to enroll elsewhere.

Impact Dowuona is coming off just his fourth absence of the season after missing Tuesday's win over Georgia Tech. The 6-foot-11 junior was able to go through pregame warmups Saturday, though it appears he'll have to come off the bench if he does play versus the Tarheels. In his place, D.J. Burns will step in as the Wolfpack's starting center.

Impact Dowuona missed Tuesday's win over Georgia Tech while dealing with an illness. However, it appears he'll be ready to return at the earliest possible opportunity, though it's unclear if he'll reprise his starting role from the Wolfpack's three contests prior to this absence. Over his last four games, Dowuona has averaged 4.3 points and 2.8 rebounds while playing 19.5 minutes per contest.

Four points, five rebounds Dowuona ended with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 FT), five rebounds and one block across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 84-60 victory over Duke.

Impact Quantity-wise, Douwona's log was unimpressive. Fantasy managers should not be surprised if the Wolfpack revert to having D.J. Burns as their starting center.

JANUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up start Wednesday Dowuona is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Duke, Pack Pride reports.

Impact Dowuona picks up his first start of the season. He is averaging just 1.3 points and 1.3 rebounds in 5.7 minutes per contest.

Impact Dowuona missed Wednesday's loss to Syracuse with a lower leg injury, but he was back in the rotation Saturday. However, he came off the bench for the first time since the first game of the season. It's unclear if he will be back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with Wake Forest.

FEBRUARY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not in starting lineup Dowuona (lower leg) isn't among the starters for Saturday's game against Notre Dame.

Impact Dowuona has started every game he's played in this season but will come off the bench if he does return to the floor Saturday. That could mean he's in line for a lighter workload than usual even if he plays.

FEBRUARY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Impact After Missing Wednesday's game with a lower leg injury. Dowuona is trending towards a return Saturday against the Irish. The 6-foot-11 sophomore averages 4.1 points and 4.0 rebounds in conference play.

Won't play Wednesday Dowuona won't play in Wednesday's game against Syracuse due to a lower leg injury, Craig Hammel of Wolfpack Athletics reports.

Impact Dowuona reportedly suffered the injury during the team's last contest against the Tar Heels, and this will be the center's first absence of the season. Expect Jaylon Gibson to see an increased role with Dowuona out Wednesday.

FEBRUARY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Posts season's best stat line Dowuona racked up 10 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes during Saturday's 88-73 loss to Duke.

Impact Dowuona has been charged with picking up a lot of the post minutes left behind in the absence of Manny Bates (shoulder) this season, as the second-year center has started the last 17 games for the Wolfpack and averaged 26 mpg. While he's gained valuable experience, this is an area that lacks depth and experience, resulting in N.C. State ranking 272nd overall in defensive rebounding rate heading into Wednesday's slate of games. Nonetheless, it was encouraging to see Dowuona put up arguably his best stat line of the season against a ranked Duke squad.

Logs two minutes in return Dowuona (illness) supplied two empty minutes off the bench Saturday versus Wake Forest in his return.

Impact Dowuona missed some time due to illness but appears to be available for bench depth in the frontcourt moving forward. However, he's unlikely to attain a consistent role in the rotation this season.

FEBRUARY 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Missing more action Dowuona (illness) didn't suit up in Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh.

Impact The freshman missed his third straight game with a stomach bug, as he still doesn't have a timetable for a return. Dowuona has suited up in just seven games this season, averaging 1.2 rebounds across 7.6 minutes per contest. His next chance to suit up is in Saturday's game against Wake Forest.

FEBRUARY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses game Saturday Dowuona was not on the bench with the team for Saturday's 69-53 loss to Duke because of a stomach bug going around the team, The Woldpacker reports.

Impact Head coach Kevin Keatts mentioned before the game that there's been a stomach bug going through the team which is why Dowuona was missing from the bench. The 6-11 freshman has had a minimal role in his inaugural season so his absence isn't a significant loss for the Wolfpack. Hopefully he'll be feeling better before Wednesday's game against Pitt.
